Roasted Potato-Onion-Garlic Soup
This soup evolved from a basic potato soup - I don't even know where the original recipe came from or where it might be now! Over the past 2 years I have added ingredients and changed how it is cooked, so now this is my own recipe for Roasted Potato-Onion-Garlic soup.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 large potatoes, cubed
- 1 large onion, chopped (big pieces are fine)
- 1/2 bulb roasted garlic
- 2 cloves raw garlic
- 28 oz chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy or light cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/8 tsp cayenne and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- Chopped fresh parsley as a garnish
Directions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat
- Add onions and raw garlic; cook 4-5 minutes
- Add potatoes, cook, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes
- Add roasted garlic, then add broth and bring to a boil; lower heat, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender
- Remove from heat. Puree soup either by transferring to a blender or by using a handheld immersion blender.
- Add spices
- Add cream and gently reheat soup
- Garnish with parsley
I love to make this soup on a cold Sunday afternoon - the house smells great, it's a nice afternoon treat, and I love having lunch made for the entire week!
